ONLY POEMS

Lexi Pelle, our Poet of the Week 💙

poetry prompt of the week: Albert Camus once said, "The human heart has a tiresome tendency to label fate only what crushes it."

write about how this may/not resonate with you or envision how it may for someone else, even a character. ask the heart why & try to pick up what it says the quietest.

Look! Love was once mine.

do not borrow grief from the future

You go in. You quicken.

poetry prompt of the week: write as if you dropped everything you were doing and left town. what are you dropping? what form of transportation will you take? how is the weather? why do you think you're going? and most importantly, where will you go?

If we are separated

The plum you're going to eat next summer.

not the clear picture of your life, but the essence of what it truly was
